Bishop & Co. reaohed the Asylum this morning. These goods came directly from Mortley & Finkerton, ZaneBville, the home of the Steward (Mortley is on the bondof Bell), but ths packages are all marked Jv M. uuuop x uo. ' t he thin device of shipping them to Ztnesville shows that the parties are aBhamed of it. This institution seems to have been reorganized with a view simply to getting this trade for Bishop, and that was not lost sight of in the recent filling of the Waddle vacancy. Cnln.se nnalms. The finest roads do not go far. It is the rich who want most things. Raillery is the lightning of calumny, Ceremony is the smoke of friendship. Great souls have wills; others only feeble wishes. Attention to small things is the economy of virtue. All is lost when people fear death worse than poverty. Be who lets things be given to him is not worth taking. Who is the greatest liar ? He who talks most of nimeeil. Men may bend to virtue, but virtue cannot bend to men. One may do without mankind, but one has need of a friend. The court is like the sea everything depends upon the wind. One forgives everything to him who for gives Himself nothing. The pleasure of doing good is the only one that never wears out, BY TELEGRAPH TO TBS OHIO STATS JOV&SAl WASHINGTON. Meeting or the Potter Invest!' gating Committee.

FABI9 EXPOSITION FUNDS WAITED. At the Cabinet meeting to-day, the Sec retary of State read a communication from Commissioner McCormick, intimating that more funds would be necessary for the proper presentation of the Amer ican exhibit in Paris, It appears the necessity for an unexpected expenditure for tbe erection ot buildings on the space allotted us, is one of the principal causeB of the deficiency. No communication will be sent to Congress on the subject until further and detailed information is received.

Mr. Edmunds, from the select committee to take into consideration the State law respecting the ascertaining and declaration of the result of elections for President and Vice President of the United States, said he was directed by the committee to make a report in part in the form of a bill to amend the sundry provision of chapter one, title three, Revised statute ot me unuea oiaies, relating to Presidential elections and to provide for and regulate the counting of votes for President and Vice President and decision of questions thereon. rue Din was piaceu on me caienaar ana Mr. Edmunds gave notice he would ask the attention of the Senate to its consideration some day next week and he hoped Senators would examine it careinuy. Mr. Thurman, a member of the select committee, said he only wished to remark that tbe report was not a unanimous one, and he would take occasion to explain to tbe Senate why he dissented. Mr. Burnside, from the committee on Education and Labor, reported adversely on the Honsejoint resolution to provide fur the enforcement of the eight h-nur law, and also adversely on the Senate Dill to regulate the hours of labor. Placed on the c ileudar. Mr. Davis called up the Stume bill to provide for an additional Circuit Judge iu the Second Judicial circuit. Passej. The bill to provide for the free etry of articles imported for exhibition by Bic.etiej established tor the encouragement of arts and sciences, was passed. At the expiration of the morning hour, consideration was resumed of the bill providing a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia. Mr. Hamlin submitted an amendment pro viding that a poll tax of $1 Bhall annually be assessed on and collected of every male inhabitant of the District, who shall be twentyone years old, said tax to be levied and collected as other taxeB. Mr. Hamlin, in explanation or his amendment, said there was a great number of people here who paid no tax, yet they had all the benefits of the schools, improved streets, etc. He believed every inhabitant should contribute something for what the law and government afforded him. This poll tax would probably yield to the District $16,000 or $20,000 a year. Mr. Whvtesaid he was surprised that such a proposition should come from the source it did. It was to impose upon the colored peo-nle of this District a noil tax of $1 a head. when many of them were so poor the Government had to take rare of them. Great complaint was made on ths other side of the chamber a short time ago about a poll tax in Georgia. Be was surprised that the Georgia doctrine had got up to Maine so soon. Mr. Conkling Was not that a condition of voting f Mr. Whyte I don't know. This is a con rlltion of livinir. It is worse. Mr. Conkling It does not propose to kill him if he does not pay the tax. Mr. Whyte It will kill some to pay it, He was not lard hearted enough to levy a poll tax of one dollar on a poor colored man. Mr. Hamlim said he made no distinction on account of color. Mr. Whyte was satisfied that no tax look-Idit to suffraffe should be devised. Mr. Hamlin said there was no condition whatever of his amendment with the right of voting. He did not propose to-vote for this bill, because there was not enougu sui. frage in it. He favored a mixed govern. ment for the District a portion of ths officers to be elected oy the people and a portion to be aDDOinted by the General Govern ment. If the General Government should take control of the District itshould piy all the taxes. The amendment of Mr. Hamlin was agreed to yeas 25. nays 22. The third section of the bill, relating to taxation and that the Federal Government shall pay fifty per cent of the expenses of the District, etc., was then agreed to as amended, no change being made in the fifty per cent, clause. The fourth section of the bill, providing that all taxes shall be paid into the Treasury of tbe United States, to be disbursed on itemized vouchers, and that toe Secretary of the Treasury shall pay the interest on ta bonds of the District of Columbia, and also create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of Buch bonds, was agreed to. Without very important amendments the nun section ot the bin, relating to contracts for pavements, repairs of streets, etc , was slightly amended. rending discussion, Mr. Berry said ne desired to give notice he would call up the bill to forbid the further retirement of legal ten der notes, as soon as the District of Columbia bill eh uld be disposed of. Mr Paddock submitted an ameidment to the Texas Pacifie Railroad bill, extending aid to the Republican Valley Railroad company. Referred. sar.

Mr. Foster moved to strike out section nine of the bill, which reorganizes the Bureau of Military Justice, and spoke in reference to the importance of the Bureau. The Democrats having mustered in greater force than last night and there being a large number of absentees on the Republican side, the amendment was rejected 3 to 99. Mr. Gnrtield moved to amend so as to direct the Board provided for in section twelve to report whether the Bureau ol u Hilary j us-tice shall be composed as provided in the bill, namely, of one Judge Advocate General, with the rank and pay of Colonel, or of four Judge Advocates, with the rank and pay of Major.

Board of three Mxjor Generals, to examine into the organization and efficiency o the several branches of the service and '.o suggest improvements, that it was new legislation, and therefore not in order on a a appropriation bill. Tbe Chairman sustained tin point of or der, and then Mr. Hewitt, af.er modifying the section so as to avoid the point of adverse ruling, offered the section as a new amendment. The same point of order was made against the amendment, and it was again sustained. Mr. Hewitt again changed the soction so as to request not require) the President to convene such a Board. Mr. Chalmers moved to amend sr as to provide that ths Board should consist of tbe Secretary of War, Chief of Engineers, and the three Major Generals. Adopted. The Bection as amended was then incorporated into the bill. Mr. Hale made a like point of order against section 13, which authorizes the President to discharge honorably officers who may apply to ba discharged before January next, such officers to receive, as a gratuity, one year's pay for evrrv five of service.

Tbree Bnaslan Cral.er. to be Far cbuaet! and Manned In American Waters. Ellsworth. Me., May 24. Small parties of Russian officers are leaving the CHmbria to-day, with all their baggage, which they pass formally through the Custom House. A few leave by every boat going West. One of the officera, in conversation, confirms the report that the Russian force is composed of three ships' crews, each fully officered. He says there is no harm in now saying that they have come to America to man three fast vessels, to be purchased and converted into Russian cruisers. He thinks two have already been purchased, and are now in Philadelphia, Such officers as have left the Cim-biia have gone to these vessels. When asked if any sailors had been sent on, he answered that the sailors would be taken directly on the Cimbria to the point of transfer. The officer conversed with is of the rank of a Lieutenant, highly educated, and apparently candid in his statements. Mexican Affairs. City of Mexico, May IS. The report of the committee of CongresB at Wash ington, recommending the crossing of American troops into Mexico, caused great excitement. The Mexicans fear that the Texan filibusters will combine with the Lerdoista and thereby be enabled to get up raids either way. It is uncertain whether Vallarle will accept the ministry of Foreign Relations ad interim if offered. JubIo Benitez, a prominent leader in Congress, is mentioned as likely to be appointed to fill the vacancy. Benitez is considered to be unfavorably disposed toward the Americans and ail other foreigners. FOREIGN. Peace Prospects Brightening at London. Rassia Firm as to Bessarabia, bat Weakening on Bulgaria and the Indemnity. Test Tote on the British Gov ernment'a Policy of Utilizing Indian Troops. Discussion of tbe Antl-Soolallst Bill In the German Parliament. Tbe Conduct of tbeGovernmout and Its Policy Approved. London, May 24. Tbe majority in the Home of Commons laet night against the Lord Harlington resolution, that no forces be raiaed or kept by the Crown in time of peace, save within- India, without the sanotion of Parliament, was nearly double the figure conceded by the Unpom tion, all of whose estimates placed the Government's majority at about eixty or seventy. The Times referring to this says : This was because the debate brought out clearly the fact that the real ieBue was the approval or condemnation of the Government's policy in utilizing the Indian troops. Under that interpretation the House voted upon it. If the resolution had been carried, it would have been accepted by all the world as a vote of censure. The questions of too legality or the constitutionality of the Government's method may exercise Parliament's atten tion at some other time. The resolution was properly considered in its bearing on tbe conduct of the Government at a great political crisis and In that light over whelmingly defeated. Olaonailou on '") Antl-Soelnliat Bill. Berlin, May 24 In yesterday's debate in the German Parliament, on the anti-Socialistio bill, Herr Benningsen warned the Federal Council with iutroduciug a bill which they knew would be overwhelmingly rejected, in order to have a pretext for a dissolution of Parliament. He warned tbe Council that this was a dangerous experiment and said the National Liberals do not believe the general condition of German society requires the estabishment of a Dictatorship. Herr Liebknecht, Socialist, said his party refuse to participate in the debate passed on the assumption that the Socialists encourage murder. Herr Kichter for the advanced Liberals and Herr Joerg, for the Ultramontanes declared the Government bad winked at socialism in order to discredit political influence of the middle classes. Under this species of fostering the evil had obtained formidable proportions and could only be cured by industrial and educational progretB.

News comes in slowly, as telegraphic communication with that part of the State is wanting, Second Dispatch. 1 Madison, Wis.. May 24 The tornado which pissed over this place last night proves to have been more widespread and destructive than was thought last night. The Btorm came from the direction of Boutbweat, passing through a eeotion of the State where no telegraphic communi cations are established, hence the details ol the great destruction and loss of life are meagre. H-nough has been received, however, to Bhow that the devastation and sacrifice of properly and life has been appalling.in the vicinity of Pritneroao. twenty. five miles Bquthwest of this city, from there through Mt. Vernon to Paoli, the storm seems to have done widespread damage. From twentvfiveto thirty barns and farm houses were blown down, Borne of them utterly destroyed and the debris carried off before the mighty avalanche of wind, some of it falling twelve to fif teen miles away, one shutter of a house falling in Like Mendota, near this city. Some twelve or eighteen persons are known to ba killed and large numbers Beriously injured. Graphio descriptions are given of the terrible effect of tbe tornado.

Ueorge fox's, near Oregon, two vaiuablo horses, in a pasture, were taken up a hundred feet in tbe air, carried fifty rods and dashed to tho earth, killing them instantly. lhe storm came from the direction of Mineral Point, where it wrought such terrible damage, and raised from the ground seven or eight miles southwest of Madison, and again striking the earth near roxt Atkroa, northwest of here, near rrimerose and raou. The storm teemed from a half to a mile in width, and swept everything before it, mowing down trees, fences, barns, houses and shrubbery as if with a scythe Further returns may be had to night.

KANUFACTOrtEO BY THE PIONEER TOBACCO CO., KToxtst Torli, sep29 ltaw s 1 p ly He preferred toast and coffee to any other diet, and was well behaved, although tremendously exacting. When he became a little accustomed to us he would sing the gamut, both upaard aid downward, in an absent-minded, dreamy way, as if recalling some memory of an opera singer. He would eit beside me on a peich, seemingly contented, until he Baw that I was absorbed in writing. Then he mounted to the table, planted himself on the paper directly in the way of the pen, or managed, by nips of tbe ears or hair, to get upon the top of my head and make coherent thought impossible. Once, remembering Campbell's ballad, I ventured though with Borne anxiety, for I half expected to see bim flap around the room with joyous speech, drop and die to speak to him in Spanish. He was surprised, interested, and at first sesmed inclined to anBWer in the same tongue; but after reflecting half an hour upon the question he shook his head and kept the secret to himself. No phrase or word of any kind could be drawn from him; yet the same bird, seeing my daughter a week after we had given him away to a friend, Btiddenly called her by name. The parrot should bave been the symbol of the Venetian Council of Ten. Three weeks after the great tiro in Chicago, in 1871, I saw a parrot which had saved itself from the general fate of all household treasures there, It had belonged to my old friend, Mrs. Kirkland, and was doubly cherished by her daughter. When it was evident that the house was doomed, and tbe red wall of flame, urged by the hurricane, was sweeping toward it with terrific speed, Miss Kirkland saw that she could reecue nothiog except what ehe instantly took in her hands. There were two objeots equally dear the parrot and the old family Bible; but Bhe was unable to carry more than one of them. After a single moment of choice, she seized the Bible, and waa hastening away, when the parrot cried out, in a loud and solemn voice, "Good Lord deliver us I" No human being, I think, could have been deaf to such an appeal; the precious Bible was sacrificed and the parrot saved. The bird really possessed a Buperior intelligence. I heard him say "Yea" and "No" in answer to questions, the latter being varied bo as to admit alternately of both replies; and the test of his knowledge waa perfect. In the home where he found a refuge there were many evening visitors, one of whom, a gentleman, was rather noted for his monopoly of the conversation. When the parrot first heard him, it listened in silence for some time; then, to the amazement, and perhaps the confusion of all preBent, it said very emphatically, "You talk altogether too much I" Thereupon the parrot laid his head on one side, gave an indescribably comical and contemptuous "H'ni-m I" and added, "There he goes again 1" If there ever was an oiieav terrible it is the parrot; his instinct for dieoovering ways and means of annoyance is something diabolical. A Touching Mule Story. Elko (Nay.) Post l A car load of mules en route to California from the far EiBt were unloaded here last Wednesday for a rest. One of them sighted the green sagebrush, and rushed hungrily toward it for a IuscIoub feed. He nipped off a mouthful of the fragrant bush, chewed it a moment, spit it out, bit himself and kicked to ace if he was dreaming, took another bite, and then, with quiveriug lip. and the tears coursing in torrents down his cheeks, he lifted up his voice and brayed a bray of undisguised emotion. A peculiar brand upon the animal was recognized by the Indians as one used by their ancestors hundreds of years ago, and hie deep emotion was no doubt caused hy unexpectedly finding himself once more amid the scenes wherein he bad whiled away the joyous, innocent hours of his childhood,

Mr. Hamlin submitted an amendment pro viding that a poll tax of $1 Bhall annually be assessed on and collected of every male inhabitant of the District, who shall be twentyone years old, said tax to be levied and collected as other taxeB. Mr. Hamlin, in explanation or his amendment, said there was a great number of people here who paid no tax, yet they had all the benefits of the schools, improved streets, etc. He believed every inhabitant should contribute something for what the law and government afforded him. This poll tax would probably yield to the District $16,000 or $20,000 a year. Mr. Whvtesaid he was surprised that such a proposition should come from the source it did. It was to impose upon the colored peo-nle of this District a noil tax of $1 a head. when many of them were so poor the Government had to take rare of them. Great complaint was made on ths other side of the chamber a short time ago about a poll tax in Georgia. Be was surprised that the Georgia doctrine had got up to Maine so soon. Mr. Conkling Was not that a condition of voting f Mr. Whyte I don't know. This is a con rlltion of livinir. It is worse. Mr. Conkling It does not propose to kill him if he does not pay the tax. Mr. Whyte It will kill some to pay it, He was not lard hearted enough to levy a poll tax of one dollar on a poor colored man. Mr. Hamlim said he made no distinction on account of color. Mr. Whyte was satisfied that no tax look-Idit to suffraffe should be devised. Mr. Hamlin said there was no condition whatever of his amendment with the right of voting. He did not propose to-vote for this bill, because there was not enougu sui. frage in it. He favored a mixed govern. ment for the District a portion of ths officers to be elected oy the people and a portion to be aDDOinted by the General Govern ment. If the General Government should take control of the District itshould piy all the taxes. The amendment of Mr. Hamlin was agreed to yeas 25. nays 22. The third section of the bill, relating to taxation and that the Federal Government shall pay fifty per cent of the expenses of the District, etc., was then agreed to as amended, no change being made in the fifty per cent, clause. The fourth section of the bill, providing that all taxes shall be paid into the Treasury of tbe United States, to be disbursed on itemized vouchers, and that toe Secretary of the Treasury shall pay the interest on ta bonds of the District of Columbia, and also create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of Buch bonds, was agreed to. Without very important amendments the nun section ot the bin, relating to contracts for pavements, repairs of streets, etc , was slightly amended. rending discussion, Mr. Berry said ne desired to give notice he would call up the bill to forbid the further retirement of legal ten der notes, as soon as the District of Columbia bill eh uld be disposed of.

Tbree Bnaslan Cral.er. to be Far cbuaet! and Manned In American Waters. Ellsworth. Me., May 24. Small parties of Russian officers are leaving the CHmbria to-day, with all their baggage, which they pass formally through the Custom House. A few leave by every boat going West. One of the officera, in conversation, confirms the report that the Russian force is composed of three ships' crews, each fully officered. He says there is no harm in now saying that they have come to America to man three fast vessels, to be purchased and converted into Russian cruisers. He thinks two have already been purchased, and are now in Philadelphia, Such officers as have left the Cim-biia have gone to these vessels. When asked if any sailors had been sent on, he answered that the sailors would be taken directly on the Cimbria to the point of transfer. The officer conversed with is of the rank of a Lieutenant, highly educated, and apparently candid in his statements. Mexican Affairs. City of Mexico, May IS.

Tbe majority in the Home of Commons laet night against the Lord Harlington resolution, that no forces be raiaed or kept by the Crown in time of peace, save within- India, without the sanotion of Parliament, was nearly double the figure conceded by the Unpom tion, all of whose estimates placed the Government's majority at about eixty or seventy. The Times referring to this says : This was because the debate brought out clearly the fact that the real ieBue was the approval or condemnation of the Government's policy in utilizing the Indian troops. Under that interpretation the House voted upon it. If the resolution had been carried, it would have been accepted by all the world as a vote of censure. The questions of too legality or the constitutionality of the Government's method may exercise Parliament's atten tion at some other time. The resolution was properly considered in its bearing on tbe conduct of the Government at a great political crisis and In that light over whelmingly defeated. Olaonailou on '") Antl-Soelnliat Bill.

It was founded in 1809, seven years before the American Bible Sooiety, and until 1830 was active in its operations.

Recently, however, the American Society have withdrawn from New England, leaving the field in the care of the local organizations, of which there are in Connecticut about forty.

Bayard Taylor.J We had a parrot but once, and that only for a few weeks. The bird was a mystery to me, and I found him almost too uncanny to be a pleasant acquaintance. Our panot came directly from a vessel, but from what port I neglected to learn; he apparently understood the English language, but would not speak it, LANDAUERS latrodnccd ibe System of hetmihg the mm WHEN Cnttoatrs Desire to Return Goods.

KANUFACTOrtEO BY THE PIONEER TOBACCO CO., KToxtst Torli, sep29 ltaw s 1 p ly He preferred toast and coffee to any other diet, and was well behaved, although tremendously exacting. When he became a little accustomed to us he would sing the gamut, both upaard aid downward, in an absent-minded, dreamy way, as if recalling some memory of an opera singer. He would eit beside me on a peich, seemingly contented, until he Baw that I was absorbed in writing. Then he mounted to the table, planted himself on the paper directly in the way of the pen, or managed, by nips of tbe ears or hair, to get upon the top of my head and make coherent thought impossible. Once, remembering Campbell's ballad, I ventured though with Borne anxiety, for I half expected to see bim flap around the room with joyous speech, drop and die to speak to him in Spanish. He was surprised, interested, and at first sesmed inclined to anBWer in the same tongue; but after reflecting half an hour upon the question he shook his head and kept the secret to himself. No phrase or word of any kind could be drawn from him; yet the same bird, seeing my daughter a week after we had given him away to a friend, Btiddenly called her by name. The parrot should bave been the symbol of the Venetian Council of Ten. Three weeks after the great tiro in Chicago, in 1871, I saw a parrot which had saved itself from the general fate of all household treasures there, It had belonged to my old friend, Mrs. Kirkland, and was doubly cherished by her daughter. When it was evident that the house was doomed, and tbe red wall of flame, urged by the hurricane, was sweeping toward it with terrific speed, Miss Kirkland saw that she could reecue nothiog except what ehe instantly took in her hands. There were two objeots equally dear the parrot and the old family Bible; but Bhe was unable to carry more than one of them. After a single moment of choice, she seized the Bible, and waa hastening away, when the parrot cried out, in a loud and solemn voice, "Good Lord deliver us I" No human being, I think, could have been deaf to such an appeal; the precious Bible was sacrificed and the parrot saved. The bird really possessed a Buperior intelligence. I heard him say "Yea" and "No" in answer to questions, the latter being varied bo as to admit alternately of both replies; and the test of his knowledge waa perfect. In the home where he found a refuge there were many evening visitors, one of whom, a gentleman, was rather noted for his monopoly of the conversation. When the parrot first heard him, it listened in silence for some time; then, to the amazement, and perhaps the confusion of all preBent, it said very emphatically, "You talk altogether too much I" Thereupon the parrot laid his head on one side, gave an indescribably comical and contemptuous "H'ni-m I" and added, "There he goes again 1" If there ever was an oiieav terrible it is the parrot; his instinct for dieoovering ways and means of annoyance is something diabolical. A Touching Mule Story. Elko (Nay.) Post l A car load of mules en route to California from the far EiBt were unloaded here last Wednesday for a rest. One of them sighted the green sagebrush, and rushed hungrily toward it for a IuscIoub feed. He nipped off a mouthful of the fragrant bush, chewed it a moment, spit it out, bit himself and kicked to ace if he was dreaming, took another bite, and then, with quiveriug lip. and the tears coursing in torrents down his cheeks, he lifted up his voice and brayed a bray of undisguised emotion. A peculiar brand upon the animal was recognized by the Indians as one used by their ancestors hundreds of years ago, and hie deep emotion was no doubt caused hy unexpectedly finding himself once more amid the scenes wherein he bad whiled away the joyous, innocent hours of his childhood,
